Ectopia lentis


Displacement of the lens
from its normal position
It is either completely displaced [dislocated ] or
partially displaced [ subluxated]
 May be inherited or acquired
Subluxation of lens


Definition : Partial displacement of the lens
: Occurs when the zonules are torn in
one segment
: It still remains in the pupillary area
: Displaced opposite.
Causes
Inherited
Acquired
Subluxation of lens
Inherited
Causes






Marfan’s syndrome
Weil Marchesani syndrome
Homocystinuria
Aniridia
Hyperlysinemia
Familial ectopia lentis
Subluxation of lens
Acquired
Causes

Trauma

Large eye [myopia,buphthalmos]

Hypermature cataract
Subluxation of lens
Symptoms : depends whether it’s anterior or posterior
diplopia
pain
redness
blurring of vision
 Indications for surgery : Diplopia
: Lens induced uveitis
: Secondary glaucoma
 Management : Leave alone if the patient is asymtomatic.
: Removal of the lens with a vectis or ICCE

Dislocation of lens

Definition : complete displacement of the lens from
the pupillary area.

Types : anterior or posterior

Symptoms: pain, redness,
blurring of vision

Signs: Depends on the type of dislocation
Dislocation of lens
Complications :
Corneal endothelium touch
Secondary glaucoma
Vitreous haemorrhage
Retinal tear
Retinal detachment
Chronic uveitis .
Dislocation of lens
Management

In anterior dislocation – remove with a vectis
using viscoelastics

In posterior disclocation- Total vitrectomy and
floating the lens using heavy liquids or using a
fragmentome to break the nucleus and removing the
pieces.
Or leave alone if there are no complications.
Spectacle correction [aphakic ]
Removal of the lens with a
cryoprobe
Complicated cataract
Secondary to primary ocular disease
[Secondary to inflammatory or degenerative diseases]



Anterior or posterior uveitis : A + PSC
Acute congestive glaucoma : Glaucomflecken
High myopia : Post lens opacities and PSC
 Hereditary retinal + vitreoretinal disorders: PSC
Complicated cataract
Secondary to primary ocular disease
Secondary to inflammatory or degenerative diseases

Anterior or posterior uveitis : A + PSC
 Acute congestive glaucoma : Glaucomflecken
Questions

Defination of subluxation and dislocation
 Causes for subluxation and dislocation
 Signs/symptoms of subluxation and
dislocation
 Management of subluxation and dislocation
 Signs and management of complicated
cataract
Ruebella
Cataract

Foetal infection from
maternal viremia
 Within 6/52 the virus
can penetrate the lens
capsule
 Nuclear cataract
 Virus can persist in the
lens for 3 years
postnatally

Microphthalmos
 Retinopathy [ salt and
pepper appearance]

Glaucoma
Abnormalities of lens shape

Coloboma [ involves the iris and choroid]
 Anterior lenticonus
 Posterior lenticonus
 Lentiglobus

Microphakia
[ Diameter is smaller than normal eg. in Lowe’s syndrome ]

Microspherophakia [ + disc like in eg. Marfans syndrome ]
